DRAGONMOUNT

A WHEEL OF TIME COMMUNITY

Fan Art Friday: All Together Now!


peregrine

With 2,641 named characters, 13 volumes, 11,308 pages, 44 million copies sold worldwide, and audiobooks that would take 17 days, 11 hours, and 30 minutes to listen to back-to-back from beginning to end (and counting!) [source], the Wheel of Time sets a standard for immersive high fantasy that's hard to beat. In honor of Robert Jordan's prodigious mind and prolific pen, this week's theme is quality in quantity.

 

 

 

1. Wheel of Time Sketch Cards by Adam Masterman (Mahasiddha):

 

I love this artist's sharp, clean style. I also think the juxtaposition of the first two cards is pretty funny (It's pre-Towers of Midnight "Crazy Rand" and post-Towers of Midnight "Enlightened Rand!").

2. Wheel of Time Character Design 2 by Chase Conley (saintchase):

 

Dynamite Entertainment acquired the rights to Dabel Brothers Productions' comic book rendition of The Eye of the World in 2009. Chase Conley is one of the amazing artists behind these comics. Here's a sketch dump he did in preparation for his seven-issue run. I recommend checking out the original post to see the characters full-size.

3. Wheel of Time by Niklas Tarpila (Nether83):

 

This ambitious work was done for fun by a Finnish graphic artist. The characters aren't exactly how I picture them, but I really admire his coloring skill. I can't imagine how long it took to make this.

4. Teeny-Tiny WoT People by Forbis:

 

Forbis is one of my all-time favorite Wheel of Time fan artists. Her depictions of the Two Rivers folk early on in the series strike a nostalgic cord with me, both because they were just so darn young and innocent back then and because Forbis hasn't been active in the Wheel of Time art community for years.

 

Here's a sketch dump she did of Rand (the first three rows) and the Aiel (most of the last two rows). Again, you might want to follow the link to see this full-size--and check out the rest of her gallery while you're at it!

The links to the enlarged pictures weren't working for me on a Mac running Firefox 11, but otherwise, great post. :-)

Just fixed the problem with the links for this week ...

To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been any official news on this since Universal Pictures acquired the rights in 2008. We can hope the success of G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire on HBO will provide some impetus, though ...
